Greenroofs, Greenwalls, & Green Infrastructure Elements
2017 Projects of the Week
In 2017 we highlighted some inspiring and wonderful greenroofs and greenwalls from across the globe. Many different types were showcased, some with both features included. Additional green infrastructure elements in the projects incorporated were:
Bioretention ponds, underground cisterns and more water harvesting techniques, water recycling systems, daylighting, solar and other alternative, renewable energy technologies, edible and stormwater gardens, and more.
It’s heartening to see developers, governments, and building owners listening to environmentally progressive architects and designers. The collaborative efforts are not only proposing projects that are more holistically designed, but getting them built as well. Kudos to all!
Join us for a quick look at just some of these interesting, important, or just fabulous projects in our Greenroofs.com 2017 Projects of the Week Video in Review!
